“I have learned from experience with the BDO and the ladies tournament.”

“I don't look at it as a man's sport because the women play as well. It's an open sport.”

“I don't even know what a feminist is.”

“I feel I can concentrate a bit more on playing darts now people are just seeing an equal playing field.”

“It made me a stronger person, and more determined. I don't know if I'd still be as strong if I didn't have all that hate. I needed hate to make me more determined.”

“I know I've probably got a massive target on my back now, because everyone wants to be better, to beat me.”

“There's more women who can play like me if not better and we just need more recognition really.”

“My son is going to grow up looking at the newspaper cuttings and thinking, 'Wow, my mum did this.'”

“We just do not get the recognition or the opportunity to play against these men, so obviously you don't see it that often.”

“I can dance, a little bit.”

“The sky is the limit now, us women are showing that we can beat men and hopefully it will open more doors.”

“I have helped darts in general.”

“Ally Pally has been amazing for me.”

“If I'm in a pressurised situation, I've learned to breathe, chill myself out and be calm.”

“I've beaten two of the best players in the world, and if that doesn't say that women can't play darts I don't know what can.”

“I practise about three to four hours a day and I will play one night a week, or at the weekend in a competition.”

“I don't look like the stereotypical darts player, do I?”

“I started taking medication to weaken my immune system because that is what was attacking my kidneys. The problem was when I went on different medication, I suffered side effects. And the side effects caused 'moon face,' where my face swelled up. It was a reaction.”

“I think I'm an enjoyable person to be around.”

“I'm just me, a normal person.”
